Stacey Dooley became emotional as she shared details of her ectopic pregnancy experience. The renowned TV personality discussed the challenging period and the intense surgical procedure she had to undergo due to internal bleeding.
At 38 years old, Stacey, a mother to daughter Minnie with Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton, spoke candidly about her recent pregnancy journey during a conversation with Amy Jackson Westwick on the podcast, What’s The Tea, Amy? She revealed the difficulties she faced, stating that the ectopic pregnancy was a dramatic event that required immediate surgery when she was in Liverpool.
Recalling the distressing moment before her operation, Stacey expressed her gratitude towards Liverpool Women’s Hospital for their exceptional care. This is not the first time she has shared her ectopic pregnancy story, as she previously struggled with emotions while discussing it on her show Stacey Sleeps Over.
Ectopic pregnancies affect around 11,000 women each year, occurring when a fertilized egg implants outside the womb. According to NHS guidelines, such pregnancies cannot be preserved and typically necessitate removal through medication or surgery.
Reflecting on her ordeal, Stacey mentioned that she had started contemplating alternative methods for expanding her family. She emphasized the need to consider different options when facing challenges like hers, highlighting the importance of exploring alternative paths to parenthood.
In addition to Stacey, other celebrities like Charlotte Crosby and Laura Kenny have also shared their experiences with ectopic pregnancies. The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust offers valuable information and support on ectopic pregnancies through its website.
